SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NACOSH was established by Section 7(a) of

651, 656) to advise, consult with, and make recommendations to the
Secretary of Labor and the Secretary of Health and Human Services on
matters relating to the administration of the Act. Under the Act,
Congress intended NACOSH to be a continuing advisory committee of
indefinite duration.
NACOSH operates in accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee
Act (FACA) (5 U.S.C. App. 2) and OSHA's regulations on advisory
committees (29 CFR parts 1912 and 1912a). Pursuant to FACA and its
implementing regulations (41 CFR 102-3), the NACOSH charter must be
renewed every two years. The current charter expires on January 29,
2009. The Secretary has determined that renewing the NACOSH charter is
necessary and in the public interest. The new Committee charter will
expire two years from the date it is filed.
